Is there not a textbook with this course? If so, read it.
Else, since you came in halfway through you could ask the instructor these questions. If you are near the end of the course though this will likely not be appreciated as it is usually the sort of thing that a person who wants to learn the meterial will do at the earliest opportunity. Your lack of interest and obvious disdain for your "crap" teacher may have already failed you. How much time is there untill your final? Sucking up may help.
Saying sorry you've been such a bad student but you really want to learn and ask questions. Good relations with teachers always improves marks :-) It's harder to fail people you like than people you don't know or actually dislike. Also, a good relation with a teacher usually improves learning too. (Doesn't help with an independant marker of course).
Else, LIBRARY!
